Hi Steve
Have a bit of a read through the comments. You may pick up some ideas but like the Atomic it’s a case of test, practice and learn.

Ahoy…..became the proud owner of an Otto 2 days ago and also copious caffeine tics and tremors as I attempt to get it right. Having used Atomics over the years I’m down with the nuances of heat and grind but there seems to be an awful lot of water left at the end of the extraction and barely 2 shots with no crema out of it which is frustrating considering the suggested 20 minute wait between coffees. Any suggestions please?

Comment on Atomic Espresso Coffee Maker is Back! by mark

such fantastic machines, I bought a second hand one 15 years ago and use it daily. This one was burnt orange colour for classic 60′s/70′s decor (now it’s kind of ochre brown) and I recently got a more classic stainless steel, both Bon Trading company. I’d love to try out an Otto just to compare.

One thing I’d recommend (and this will sound like a crime to Bon Trading lovers – sorry) is get one of the new coffee baskets to go in the filter, La Sorrentina have them. They aren’t real Atomic brand baskets, I guess you call them bootlegs, but they do allow for a finer grind of coffee and I’ve found I can now make espresso pretty close to high qual domestic machines.

Sorry, not trying to spam you, I’m a super fan of the real Atomic and get a bit carried away

[...] There are many things all creative people need for success but much of the time these are the skills they’re lacking. For the independent film maker the challenge is to create but also to fund, market and distribute, leaving them with the task of doing it all. So they have to reach for help. With the development of the digital age the task of getting attention has only become more complicated requiring the skills of a new breed of producer in the PMD that we discussed in Episode 58 of Your Story.

That’s an issue I’ve never seen with mine. I’m afraid I have no idea what could be the issue as the thread and lock mechanism is so coarse it shouldn’t jam up. Sometimes I find the O ring can move and interfere a little but that will normally be the issue as you tighten it.

Could you have spilt coffee down amongst the thread and it tried and “glued” it tight. Try soaking it in water for a while and try again?

My Otto has jammed closed this morning and I can’t seem to open. Any clues as to what caused this and how to open?
